ProcureCon Barcelona is just around the corner, and for procurement professionals, it's one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year. With thoughtful keynote speakers, networking opportunities, education opportunities, interactive workshops, and chances to trade procurement stories and best practices, it’s tough to decide what to attend.
That’s why we’ve identified the top highlights you simply cannot miss at this year’s event.

Networking Opportunities
ProcureCon Barcelona is an ideal platform to connect with the brightest in the procurement world, as well as tool providers. Networking is a crucial aspect of any industry event, and here's how you can make the most of it:
- Strategic Preparation: Before the event, research like-minded attendees and speakers, creating a targeted list of contacts to approach.
- Active Engagement: Participate in discussions! Ask questions, initiate conversations, exchange contact information, and don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect and share insights with your peers.
- Post-Event Follow-Up: Don’t forget to maintain your new connections by following up with your new friends and seek collaborations beyond the conference. If you see a tool or strategy you like, bring it back to your internal stakeholders, discuss the solution or strategy, and explore what it would take to implement. Don’t let all the ideas generated at the conference slip away two weeks after the event is over.
